Centre for CO2 Technology

The Centre for CO2 Technology has been established
in response to the Kyoto Protocol and the recognition that existing technologies
will not be able to meet the emission targets agreed upon for carbon dioxide (as
the main greenhouse gas). Thus, the Centre focuses on developing breakthrough
technologies for the safe and large scale reduction (e.g. alternative,
low carbon, energy sources), removal (e.g. gas separation from
flue emissions), transportation (e.g pressurised pipelines) and sequestration (e.g. long term storage in
geological, terrestrial, and ocean systems) of carbon dioxide.

The Centre for CO2 Technology is the hub of Energy
and CO2 technology development in the Department of Chemical
Engineering and a focus point for Technological Energy R&Dat UCL
